Chapter Twenty-Nine: She's My Concubine
"Marriage?"
Mu Zhengyun was a little surprised, and when he came to his senses, he was full of surprise, this stinky boy in his family finally had someone who could restrain him, as for who......
Mu Zhengyun thought about it slightly, and there was a candidate in his heart, he had proposed a lot of family matters to Mu Xuan over the years, but Mu Xuan resolutely refused, and now not long after the princess of Huayuan Kingdom came, Xuan'er came to ask for marriage, is this still hard to guess?
And although he still has some scruples about Hua Qianmei's identity as the princess of Hua Yuanguo, he is still quite satisfied with Hua Qianmei, whether it is temperament, appearance or status, and if the two really love each other, it is also a great blessing for Mu Guo.
"I don't know which family's daughter fascinated my family Xuan'er."
Sui already had a rough idea in his heart, but Mu Zhengyun still asked gently.
"Mo Li"
Mu Xuan suddenly thought that Li'er didn't know his surname, so he said the name Mo Li, Mo Li, Mo Li, Mo Li, Mo wanted to leave him, Mu Xuan admired his wisdom slightly, but he didn't know that he hadn't met his future father-in-law yet, but he thought of it with him.
"Mo Li? Why haven't I heard of this girl's name, I don't know what her family background is? ”
Mu Zhengyun heard that the person Mu Xuan said was not what he thought, and he was extremely glad that he didn't directly guess in his heart just now, otherwise it wouldn't be embarrassing, but Mo Li's name really made him feel unfamiliar, he had checked all the women of the right age in order to choose a wife for Xuan'er, but it didn't seem to be this woman.
"She was my valet in waiting." Mu Xuan said.
"Maid?"
Mu Zhengyun was startled, and then felt that he was a little out of shape, and coughed slightly dryly,
"Since Xuan'er likes it, it's nothing to take a concubine, it's just ......"
Mu Zhengyun wants to say, to take a concubine, he needs an emperor to marry in person? Wouldn't it make people laugh out of their big teeth when they spread it?
"It's not that I'm taking a concubine, but I'm going to marry her and be my concubine." Mu Xuan raised his head and looked at Mu Zhengyun with a serious face.
"Concubine?!" Mu Zhengyun was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he flashed a trace of anger.
"Nonsense! A little maid turned out to be the concubine of the three princes, how do you let the people think of you? What do the people think of me? Besides, you are going to marry the princess of Huayuan Kingdom one day, and at this time, it would be just a concubine or something, but you actually let a princess of a big country be a side concubine, but you made a little maid a concubine, aren't you provoking Huayuan Kingdom? You ......"
Mu Zhengyun said righteously, his tone was extremely resolute, without the slightest tone of negotiation.
Mu Xuan had long known that this matter was by no means so simple, Mu Zhengyun's reaction was as he expected, but there was no trace of regression under Mu Zhengyun's stern eyes and huge momentum, and his eyes did not shy away from it.
"I'm just here to inform you today, not to listen to your opinion, if you agree to this matter, if you don't agree...... Then you tell Hua Yuanguo, let the princess find another prince to marry, with me, she will definitely not be able to enter the door of the Three Princes' Mansion. ”
After Mu Xuan finished speaking, he turned around in a dashing manner, without the slightest pause.
"You ......" Mu Zhengyun coughed violently.
"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body." The personal eunuch hurriedly patted Mu Zhengyun's back and comforted.
"Rebel, rebel."
Mu Zhengyun's excited mood couldn't be calmed down for a long time, and the original joy of hearing Mu Xuan's arrival completely turned into anger.
"Ahem...... Just go...... Send someone to invite the Queen Mother over. ”
Mu Zhengyun instructed the eunuch, thought again, and stopped the eunuch who was about to go out.
"Forget it, I'll go there myself, this matter ...... Alas......" Mu Zhengyun got up tremblingly and walked out slowly.
The rising sun was slightly red, and it looked particularly beautiful against the backdrop of the colorful glow, but Mu Zhengyun did not stop to appreciate it as usual, and his troubled mood made him no longer have such a Yaxing.
Cining Palace.
"The Emperor has arrived"
With the sound of the eunuch guards, Mu Zhengyun hurriedly came to Cining Palace.
As soon as the Queen Mother heard the pass, she saw Mu Zhengyun hurriedly enter the door, put down the tea in her hand, and said with a false complaint:
"What kind of wind blew the emperor here today? On weekdays, I always see you busy with government affairs, and sometimes I can't see you for several months, and the mourning family stays in this empty palace all day long, and there is no one to talk to in their hearts. ”
"The queen mother laughed, no matter how busy the son is, there is still time to accompany the queen mother."
Mu Zhengyun bowed, walked to the position next to the Queen Mother and sat down.
"The mourning family knows that you are busy, and national affairs are important, and the mourning family does not blame you."
The Queen Mother tidied up the somewhat messy yellow robe for Mu Zhengyun, "Say, what is the so-called matter of coming to the mourning family today, I don't believe that you came here because you wanted to mourn the family." ”
"Hey, hey"
Mu Zhengyun, who was still a little impatient about Mu Xuan's affairs, smiled wryly when he heard the Queen Mother's words, held the Queen Mother's hand and said gently: "It's not because of Xuan'er's matter. ”
"What's wrong with Xuan'er?"
Hearing that Mu Zhengyun came for Mu Xuan's matter, the Queen Mother, who was a little worried about the purpose of Mu Zhengyun's arrival today, gradually returned to normal, and just saw Mu Zhengyun walking in a hurry and looking panicked, thinking that there was a problem at the border.
"The matter of Xuan'er's mother and concubine back then was indeed yours, and it is no wonder that Xuan'er's child has opinions about you, but after all, you are father and son, you have to take your time, spoil him more on weekdays, and the contradiction will be solved one day." The Queen Mother was relieved.
"Mother, I know all this, what happened back then was indeed my fault, I forced my favorite person to death with my own hands, and every time I think about it for so many years, I regret it a lot, hating my recklessness and stupidity. Xuan'er is her and me's only child, and I think I want to give him all the good things, but ......"
Mu Zhengyun said with a sad face, the dusty memories came like flowing water, Mu Zhengyun trembled and gradually clenched his fists, Ruoxi's dying eyes seemed to appear in front of his eyes again, watching his beloved gradually lose his life, but he couldn't do anything, Mu Zhengyun hated his incompetence.
"It's all over, that kid will forgive you." The Queen Mother gently patted Mu Zhengyun's back.
"It is precisely because I love Xuan'er that I will never allow Xuan'er to be pointed at by Wanfu and scolded by the world." Mu Zhengyun turned his gaze and said firmly.
"What happened, what did Xuan'er do, to be scolded so badly by the world?" The Queen Mother was a little puzzled, it seemed that the matter was more serious than she thought.
"Xuan'er, he wants to ......"
Mu Zhengyun told the Queen Mother that Mu Xuan was going to marry a maid as a concubine.
"That's the way things are," Mu Zhengyun finished saying what happened in one breath,
"Actually, if Xuan'er likes it, it's just a concubine, I won't blame him for these things, but he actually wants to marry this Mo Li's maid as his wife, or when he is about to marry the princess of Huayuanguo.
A princess of a big country was named a side concubine, but she was a maid but was named a concubine, what do you make the people think? What do you make the royal family of Huayuan think? Isn't this a clear provocation to Huayuan Country? Mu Zhengyun said excitedly,
"I'm not afraid that Huayuan Country will send troops, the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, but what I'm afraid of is that once the two countries go to war, there will be a river of blood, and if the people of Mu Country know that the war between the two countries is because of Xuan'er, then Xuan'er will become a sinner through the ages and be spurned by generations of people, I am already sorry for Ruoxi, how can I be sorry for Xuan'er again, how can you let me have the face to see Ruoxi after a hundred years?!"
"Don't get excited, it's not good if you hurt your body"
After listening to Mu Zhengyun's account of the incident, the Queen Mother sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"This matter is indeed Xuan'er's approach, but I am more curious about this woman named Mo Li, although Xuan'er has always had opinions about you, but he can make good decisions, think about things, and even mourn the family's intentions, what kind of woman actually fascinated Xuan'er, who has never been close to women, and did not hesitate to do such a ridiculous thing." The Queen Mother said with some doubts.
"Speaking of which, Erchen is also a little curious about this woman, I heard that Xuan'er made a big move because of the disappearance of a woman, and the imperial city was full of chickens and dogs, and dozens of civil and military ministers also played impeachment of Xuan'er because of this, Erchen didn't care about this matter at that time, but now that I think about it, it is probably this maid named Mo Li." Mu Zhengyun said.
"Oh? And what's going on? After listening to Mu Zhengyun's words, the Queen Mother's curiosity about Mo Li became bigger and bigger, "It seems that it is necessary for the mourning family to meet this magical woman named Mo Li." The Queen Mother picked up the teacup on the table and said.
